 We've seen so many players step up and play well with Jeffers Simmons or Kevin Byger here later When the Titans signed Jim Wyatt to become the senior writer editor for the Tennessee Titans in 2015 It might have been the first big move that Amy Adams-Strunk made as a controlling owner Jim had covered the team since almost the day that the team moved to Nashville So his credibility was unmatched with the Titans fan base Jim's presence makes Tennessee Titans calm the first stop for Titans fans every day of the year a lot of these fans that I've Known since I started covering the team, you know back in 1999 and a lot of times I'll tell people hey I remembered when you first started to Tennessee and that's been a big part of it. I appreciate people to read I appreciate people that are passionate about this team because they're what kind of makes us go So I'm trying to give people a look on what happens on the practice field Practice observations news of the day feature stories try to work ahead and you know a lot of days It ends up being three four things a day you try to crank out Jim Wyatt's work ethic on behalf of the fans is no joke He never stops ever He writes three or more stories a day He does interviews with radio shows Podcasts and TV shows Jim has a love for his job and a humility that makes him never forget who he works for I don't consider myself the best writer out there, but I've always been willing to work You know, there are a lot of other people that's marty who do a great job And now my job is to try to Outwork them as much as I can and to try to you know Tell stories about the team and try to pump out as much information About the team as possible and it all starts with a pencil Jim Wyatt is famous for the many pencils that he has on him at press conferences and interview sessions Every picture of Jim shows him with multiple pencils clinging to his ever-present visor for Jim It's like when he started school in the 1970s Pencils are practical when you're making a mistake. You can erase it easy a lot of times I keep a file on my notebook or what's going on day to day instead of having to start on a whole new page every day I can use the eraser to update it. I keep it on the visor because you always know where it is You know, you don't have an ink blemish on your pants I used to get from time to time and I usually have a couple of them because you never know when you're going to run out of Run out of lead when we're out in public with Jim Wyatt titans fans treat him like a rock star They love his stories. They love his twice weekly mail bags They love him on twitter and they like the special touches that he gives them each week Kind of like the now famous britches report in seven seasons with the titans Jim's britches report has become an instant classic When I started working with the team I'd get a heads up on what the uniform combinations were going to be It was it was uniform and I think the first couple of times I said tights are wearing, you know, blue jersey white pants And I think I said blue jersey white trousers, you know, blue jersey white britches I went through a long list of different descriptions for for pants and the britches took off It's funny how people look forward to that, you know, some new fans or fans that are following the team Elsewhere they see britches sometimes and they still man who uses the word britches Jim Wyatt uses the word britches along with thousands of other words that he provides for the titans fans every single week He works for the titans fans Jim's connection to the titans fan base comes naturally because Jim Wyatt embodies local boy makes good It means a lot. I grew up in Nashville went to fatherline high school went to grade school here I'm one of five all my brothers and sisters No grew up here in Nashville and you know, I never dreamed we'd have an NFL team I covered high school sports when I first started working for the tennessee and when I got out of college I loved that when the news came that the team was coming I continued to work high school then got an opportunity to cover, you know, the NFL And it's been a dream, you know career for me, you know being a national billion You know my dad 83 years old season tickets He goes all the games got so many friends that are passionate titans fans I just have such great pride in this city and such great pride in being able to work for the For the NFL team in this city the tennessee titans been a dream for me
